40 Ridiculously Oversized Every Day Objects

Seriously, a balloon dog 10 times my size? A giant floppy disk that looks like it has 1 terabyte storage inside? A giant camera, if equipped with flashing light, that could blind me? Heck, all of these mentioned objects actually exists in our world, and they have been adopted by designers worldwide to either attract the mass audience, or show off their heavyweight creativity!

In today’s post, we’ll let you ponder on the phrase ‘size does matter’ and let you decide if bigger is always better. Here are 40 ridiculously oversized objects, ranging from giant banana peel to gigantic pen covers (yes, you heard me right, pen covers)! So take a break from your hectic design work, and charge up some heavy creativity with this post? Let’s check them out!

3D Glasses. This spectacle could allow a lot of people to watch the same 3D movie at the same time. Provided if their eyes can reach both glasses. (Image Source: Bhavesh Bhuthadia)

Ascension. It’s not photoshopped, it’s a real building named as “Ascension”. It was built for the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, in order to spread the message of peace to the visitors, and I believe this gorgeous thing accomplished its mission. (Image Source: Crimson Collective)

Badminton Shuttlecock. Never thought it can be used this way. (Image Source: Neal1960)

Balloon Dog. I never knew that a balloon dog can be this gigantic. This charming piece is created by designer Jeff Koons between 1999-2000, and the size definitely didn’t stop my desire to bring it back to my house! (Image Source: If It’s Hip, It’s Here)

Basket Building. Looks exactly like a basket, except that it’s not used to carry sandwiches, but to house humans. (Image Source: Hassle Glad)

Big RMB. I seriously wonder if the value of money will get bigger with the size of the cash. (Image Source: sdelahoyde)

Big Spills. The ice popsicle is just too real; it even looks delicious! Will you give it a try? (Image Source: Ads of the World)

Holga Camera. That’s a huge Holga! I believe if the camera is equipped with the flash light, it could probably cause a person to go blind! Excellent one indeed. (Image Source: MAKE)

Hong Kong Noodle. Best served while it’s hot! One more point for the tiny chillies, they’re just too real! (Image Source: pia_louise)

Match. This life-size epic match is in fact the creation of a project, “Macro” by Rómulo Celdrán – “Macro acts as a kind of traditional magnifying glass that draws us closer to the object worthy of observation even when we keep an appropriate distance in order to view it.” (Image Source: Rómulo Celdrán)

Shoe. Did you lose a shoe today? But I’m sure that this couldn’t be yours. (Image Source: Sylvain Dumais)

Spoils. The only 2 differences with the real deal are, they are big, and they are amusing. (Image Source: photo.architect)

Thor’s Mighty Hammer. One of the best movie advertisement props I have ever seen, probably far more effective than those poster ads. (Image Source: yakul)

Throw Away Fix. “A conceptual work by Brett Oakes, confronts the viewer with a familiar object, a convenience item that has become an environmental inconvenience – the disposable coffee cup.” (Image Source: The Feijoa Fugitive)

Reflection

It could be really easy to go big just for creativity’s sake, but it takes a lot of intensive hard work to make it stand out, and this can be realized through the details that the sculptors have crafted into their sculptures. Bigger is surely better, but only if you focus on making the bigger object as real as possible, which needs more time and determination than you might think. But of course, don’t forget the amusement and all the fun from creating it!
